Granada grabbed three points at Anduva and now must wait for the final day against Leganés to seal promotion.
The Garnet were decisive, turning the tide after an early spell that left Mirandés on the back foot. That result leaves Granada alone on the last day as they prepare to host Leganés at Los Cármenes.

Granada began with intent. Uzuni tested the nerves of Mirandés with the opening shot before the fifth minute, a header that sailed over the crossbar. Mirandés, choosing caution, pressed when necessary and Raul García de Haro caused uncertainty in Granada’s defense. He also joined the action as Ferreira had to intervene to deny Granada an early lead in the 16th minute.
Granada endured the pressure, but in the 24th minute Mirandés was reduced to ten men after Álvaro Sanz was sent off for a foul on Uzuni just as he was charging into the box. A clear goalscoring opportunity and a red card jolted the Andalusians onto the right track. — Goal
Less than five minutes later, the Mirandés defense failed to clear a cross from the right in the final stretch of the first half. Anthony Gates found the ball at the far post to give Granada the lead. From that moment, Granada looked stronger and sought another goal, with Puertas entering the frame again in the 36th minute. — Goal
After the break, Granada returned with renewed determination to seal the victory. Yet the twist came when Roberto López picked up a ball in the middle of the field, saw Ferreira in front of him, and fired an extraordinary shot that slipped past Granada’s keeper. With ten men and under pressure, Mirandés equalized. — Goal
But Granada did not wait long to respond. Following a penalty-area cross, the ball reached the far post where Anthony Puertas again found the net, restoring Granada’s lead. The Andalusians then searched for a third and found it through the improvisational brilliance of Brian Zaragoza, who dominated a ball, eluded two defenders, and fired past Alfonso Herrero. 1-3 and the sense of inevitability grew. — Goal
Meanwhile, Levante’s goal against Villarreal added to the drama, and Granada clung to a promotion-focused state. They would need one more week to confirm their ascent, hoping the results elsewhere collaborate in their favor. — Goal
